Although his future is un- decided as yet, we feel certain he will find a goal and attain it. -V Football. Basketball.

Homeroom and passing of classes were her favor- ite subjects, but if the truth were known, she dehnitely has an outstand- ing eye for typographical and steno- graphical errors. Her amicable ways will be an asset as she pursues a sec- retary's responsibilities in the years to come. - Band, Art Service Club.

Gee whiz, you never know which car you will see Kathy and her cruising around in! Naturally, because of her father's pro- fession, her favorite delicacy is steak. During the summer, when not deliver- ing meat to far away places, there was nothing she enjoyed more than diving into a pool of clear, cool HEO.

Keep 'em flying, Ron! -JV and V Football, Wrestling, Q-B Club. MILLICENT JUNE KOHLER Commercial June 13, 1940 Although she favored English, Millie was one of Miss Snyder's hard working girls.

When not attending football games, watching television, or embroidering, Millie was seen with her sidekick, Faye. Summer- time finds her keeping cool.

HARRY MARSHALL METZGER Industrial Arts july 17, 1939 Harry is an outstanding marksman. With his sharpshooting rifle he spends many days in the woods hunting for some unfortunate fowl. Because of his interest, he was voted president of the rifie team. He says his favorite sub- ject is the study hall, but we know he was especially fond of shop.

She was usually seen clown- ing around with Joan, Janet and Bon- nie, or listening to Pat Boone discs. Most of last summer Judy spent work- ing fbreaking dishesj at Seidle Mem- orial Hospital. Her happy disposition will be an asset in her chosen career. - Torch, Sr. Chorus, Central Treasury. LOIS ANN MINNICH Secretarial December 3, 1940 Lois, as head baton-twirler, added a sparkling touch to the band front. After seeing her in action, you are sure to come to the conclusion that she is the typing wizard of the class. This, by the way, was her favorite subject. She is often found in attendance at the local movie theater and reading or dancing to Joni james' pop recordings. She engaged in labor at Howard john- son's, but in all probability, she ate her profits. We hope Lois succeeds in her quest for higher education at Bloomsburg State Teachers College.- Band, Torch, Head Typist Artisan, Tri-Hi-Y, FNA.

A college edu- cation is his goal for the immediate future. -Baseball, College Club. RICHARD ELMER MOWERY Academic May Eil, 1940 Richard, better known as Rem enjoys math even with all of its problems.
